What it’s like
The place. Point Venture is a small village in Travis County, with a population that stays well below that of most towns around it. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, a far higher share than is usual across the county, and incomes run above the county's, with few households living below the poverty line. A good many adults hold a four-year degree, and typical homes are valued at more than the typical home across much of the country.
Work. Residents work mainly in professional and business services, in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing and in government. Across Travis County, the largest workplaces include The University of Texas at Austin, Tesla and Austin ISD, and the county added jobs last year. The typical commute is a long one, so many people spend a good part of the day travelling to work.
Things to do. Water is close by: Lake Travis, a reservoir, and the Pedernales River are both a short drive away, and Hurst Creek runs in or beside town. Hamilton Pool Preserve, a waterfall, is also a short drive off. Winters are mild with little or no snow, and summers get hot, so time outdoors suits most of the year.
